Ken,
It's a good thought, but I find it unlikely that my program is accessing
VM, and even more unlikely that Robert would have been so careless when
running a speed test. If he had several apps running, that could make a
small difference in itself, but not the 65% that he reported. I'm
guessing that although the clock speeds are the same, his 603ev and my
775 have different bus widths and/or bus speeds, and that probably
accounts for most of the dramatic difference.
I'm still looking forward to seeing times from some really FAST machines.
